Commander-in-Chief,SerpukhovRevolutionary Military Council, Western Front

Withthe loss of Vilna the Entente has become still more
insolent. It is essential to develop the maximum speed
in regaining Vilna in the shortest possible time, so as not
to give the Whites the opportunity of bringing up their
forces and consolidating. Speed up the reinforcements which
are on the way and act as energetically as you can. The
Field Staff is to increase its supervision of the operation in
this direction in every possible way.
